It makes following the thread more difficult than it needs to be. As for 'Mailscanner', the only real problem is that it is not on Wietse's Christmas card list. Mailscanner is regularly lambasted on the Postfix forum. You might want to ask your question regarding its suitability for your particular configuration there, and possibly on the Mailscanner forum directly. Obviously, these two opposing groups disagree as to whom to attribute any problems that arise between the interaction of these two programs. -- Gerard
